Outgoing Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney threw her weight Thursday behind a Democratic lawmaker who is facing a tight re-election race in Michigan.
Cheney failed to win her party’s primary in August and while she has been a critic of Republicans aligning themselves behind former President Donald Trump, her endorsement of congresswoman Elissa Slotkin marks a first in her political career.

“I’m proud to endorse Elissa Slotkin,” Cheney said in a statement, according to the Hill news website. “Serving together on the Armed Services Committee, I have come to know Elissa as a good and honorable public servant who works hard for the people she represents, wants what’s best for the country, and is in this for the right reasons.”
Cheney has progressively found herself on the outs with the Republican Party as it has become increasingly beholden to former Trump’s MAGA (Make America Great Again) ideology. Cheney has been a stark critic of Trump and his claims of 2020 election fraud and has been a pivotal member on the House of Representative panel probing the Jan. 6, 2021, riots where Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol.
It’s no surprise the Cheney family is joining her and it exposes the permanent Washington establishment's War-First, America-Last agenda.
Elissa Slotkin can keep Liz Cheney while I work to keep America out of senseless wars.

Cheney has now become part of a growing camp of traditional Republicans who have endorsed Democrats rather than Trump or his political allies.
In 2019, Senator Jeff Flake, Former Governor John Kasich, ex-Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and one-time Secretary of State Colin Powell were among dozens of Republicans who backed the then-Democratic nominee.
Flake would go on to become Biden’s envoy to Türkiye.
Slotkin is currently locked in a heated race against Republican candidate state senator Tom Barret in Michigan’s 7th congressional district. The race is considered a toss-up by the Cook Political Report, which is a non-partisan group that analyzes US elections.
The FiveThiryEight polling website said Slotkin is favored to win her re-election race.

The lizard is a democrap because she WANTS to be a democrap. Fortunately, she can do no more damage. Thank you Wyoming voters.
At least the voters in her home state say her for what she really is, and decided she had to go, and they really don’t care where it is, so long as she goes. Being on the democrats j6 kangaroo court brought out her true colors.
Many of us KNEW her true colors, LONG before Jan 6th.
“Separating Republican officials from their growing coalition of voters and the issues they care about has been the Washington establishment’s (the swamp) goal for several years now. — but it’s not working.
We all have seen and felt the pain created by this treasonous, destructive, socialist Democrat Party and their corrupt, puppet Joe Biden in just the last 20 months. The cons, lies, hate, hypocrisy and treachery of this treasonous, socialist Democrat Party know no bounds.
I’m in Wyoming and we did our part to get rid of LIz but don’t count her out of the political picture just yet. My guess is she will move back to Virginia, get into politics there and run for office in some form again. She may even go after Pelosi’s job!
Another thing, many Wyoming people really do not like Hageman but voted for her anyway just to get rid of Liz. How this all plays out could be quite interesting. Time will tell.
That is why i have long thought, if someone gets “BOOTED OUT” Of office in one state, they should have to wait at LEAST FIVE YEARS< after moving to another state FULLY (not just owning a house there), BEFORE they are ever allowed to run for office in that new state.
How do you recongize a Socialist, democ rat ( Republican, ) ( RINO, ) Like Liz Cheny. This George Washington Quote Says it well-
” However ( Political parties, ) may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which,…( Liz Cheny, ) cunning ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, … ” Liz Chey Joimed the democrat, Socialist party of America In trying to bring Former Republican president, Donald Trump, down, She failed.!
Liz Cheney is soooo depressing, such bad karma. People like her are just a black hole of negativity. What a miserable person she is.
I don’t see this as the dark side, i see this as her GOING HOME to her rightful party.
Lightheaded Liz Cheney has morphed herself into the equivalent of a Democrat Party tar baby, trying to substitute corn molasses for tar, who when she sticks she faux sweetness to you at election time, all the running Brer’ rabbit Democrats just end up in the briar patch of sticky lost campaigns, tossed down the Trumped up rabbit holes where even an Alice cannot recognize what a Great American Wonderland is supposed to look like. Getting an endorsement from Liz is the equivalent Judas Kiss of Death, from one who has betrayed her own party, and will betray as quickly the new found friends she uses to promote her revenge upon Trump by any means necessary, even if it means ending up in the political sewers and swamps herself. For one who claims to be saving democracy, just how come she cannot abide backing the duly democrat elected leader of her own party? It is obvious her concept of an American Democracy is as confused and warped as the illegitimate American Socialists she now hangs out with who disguise themselves as legitimate American Democrats, but govern like National Socialists where party always Trumps THE PEOPLE, unlike Trump who enlarges THE PEOPLE as the party also comes along for the rise.
Can you imagine what it would be like to live with this creature? She is such a downer, so bitter, so mad and out to get even with a political party that she turned her back on.
She’s never known anything but politics. She was raised in it and thought she owned that House seat because she inherited Dick’s legacy.
She doesn’t realize that she’s having her last hurrah right now. She is hated by Republicans and won’t be any use at all to Democrats and the media as soon as she leaves the House for the last time.
Lizzie is just showing her true colors. She was a Democrat Mole all along. Time to weed the rest of the RINOs and Democrat Operatives out of the Republican Party. Like China Mitch.
It is very important to” Vet” all the republicans entering any campaign , local, state. or federal election
ANY rino in office, is JUST AS BAD as having a demon-rat in that seat.
A (RiNO) Rpublican like Liz Cheney is as much of a threat as if there were a mole working inside the party for the enemy democrat party and there are also others like her who are just as much of a threat as she was.
Was never a republican. Has always been a democrat in drag
Who wants her endorsement? I would say that is the kiss of death!
Yep, Rk, Whether she knows it or not, she really is universally disliked by both parties. Ds will never accept her b/c of her Dad, and Rs will never accept her b/c of her mission to get Trump. Ds may take her into their fold & let her bash anyone to the right of Bernie, but they’ll throw her under the bus the first chance they get.
Good situation analysis. Don’t forget a heaping portion of TDS.
At this point in time, its NO LONGER just TDS they suffer from. ITS morphed into flat out ANTI AMERICANISM!
Hopefully she endorses a lot more democrats with her kiss of death.
I’d love to see anyone she endorses LOSE BIG time.
What the heck is wrong with this woman?! So disappointing. Her mantra is “Donald Trump, you messed with the wrong person!” Ok, whatever. You’re toast.
Who’s really surprised ? She along with her dad are both closet liberals. Wouldn’t surprise me to see her change parties
Actually the term is admit rather than change.
Liz’s ship has sunk. She’s burned bridges everywhere so there’s no turning back. Trump exposed her & Dad for being part of the war machine elite. Oh, she may get a show on MSLSD or the Clown News Network . . . but her political goose is cooked.
I’m so glad that Liz is “happy” because she made over 81 million Republicans HAPPY TOO! THANKS LIZ FOR SINKING YOUR OWN SHIP WITHOUT DOING A SCINTILLA of damage to the Republican party you slyly said you supported.
This hag, along with the rest of her elitist friends, thought they could whip all the free thinking MAGA republicans back in line, but they failed miserably. The conservative wing of the party is in control and has rejected her attempt at taking us back to the days of being placated by do nothing political hacks. An endorsement from her would be like getting the nod of approval from Kim Jong-un, so by all means Liz back as many democrats as you like.
Circus? I think the “Circus” began months ago in a mock trial. But I feel the “Circus” will have to close early because the Elephants took a dump in the Donkey’s corral !
Now if we can only get rid of mit romney (my spelling) to show my respect for him.
